BARREL-SWING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,523, datedSeptember 21, 1880.

Application filed February 26, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMMOR M. MALLETT, of Ionia, in the county of Ioniaand State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement inBarrel-Swings, of which the following is a specification.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved barrel-swing. Fig. 2 is atop view of the attachment to the barrel. Fig. 3 is a bottom view of theattachment to the barrel.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to furnish an improved and practicalbarrel-swing that can be quickly adjusted, and one that does not take upmuch space andis always ready for use.

The improvement consists in the upper and lower pivots, which areattached to the barrel as hereinafter fully described.

A represents a grocers counter, which is provided with two sets ofpivotsockets and barrels attached in the ordinary position for swingingunder or from the counter; B, ordinary barrel; 0, recessed pivot-blockfastened to top of counter; D, bolt fitting into recessed pivot -block,and driven into top of barrel between the staves and hoops, thussupporting the top of the barrel; E, rest and pivot on which the barrelis mounted and turns; F, pivot-socket upon which the entire weightrests. (LT is a slot cut into barrel-rest to receive the chine andprevent the barrel from slipping. H is a block secured to the counter toprevent the barrel from swinging so far as to allow the upper pivot tobe pulled out of the recessed pivot-block.

The pivots may be so placed that the front of the counter will effectthe purpose of block H.

The operation of the invention is as follows: The barrel will swing backand forth as far as desired, making it easy and practical and a savingof time to pull the barrel from under the counter, and replacing it bythe same mo tion. In hanging the barrel the, pivot-sockets E and F areplaced on the floor or foundation, then the recessed pivot-block O isfastened to the counter, and the bolt D is driven in between the stavesand hoops of the barrel, being first flattened and drawn out at thelower end, so as to admit of driving down to the re quired distance togive it strength. hen this is done the barrel is tipped onto one edgeand rolled so as to come directly over the barrel-rest E, thenstraightened up to a perpendicular position. The top of barrel B Bisinclined back of the recessed pivot-block C until the bolt D isadmitted and received in the circle on the back side. With these threemotions the barrel is hung and ready for use.

WVhat I claim ist 1. The combination of a lower pivot-support, therecessed upper pivot-block open toward the front of thecounter, and abarrel provided with a pivot-pin, substantially as shown and described.

2." The combination of a lower pivot-support, the recessed upperpivot-block open toward the front of the counter, and a barrel providedwith a pivot-pin held between the hoops and st-aves, substantially asshown and described.
